Weihrauch HW 90K

[luke. 9]

Hello all, i have a HW 90K and was just wondering if there is any 1 in the North East area who refurnishes guns.

 

The one i own is turning blue on the top and barrel and could do with the stock re-doing, if there is any body who is willing to help i will be very greatful.

 

Thanks for looking.

You can do it yourself. Its not difficult all you need is plenty of time and patience and a few basic materials. If you fancy giving it a go reply and I or someone else can tell you how to go about it.

Well this is what I would do. I presume your HW90 has the standard varnished beech stock? Remove the stock, but the screws somewhere so you don't loose them, and coat the stock with paint stripper, rub the varnish off with wire wool, make sure you get it all right down to the bare wood.Be careful to avoid rubbing the edges off the checkering. If you want the stock darker stain it. Then rub boiled linseed oil into the stock with a soft cloth, not too much. Do this every day for a fortnight or till you are happy with it. Then you should have a nice matt finish. Re do the oil once in a while. Or if you want it shinny then you could varnish it a few times after removing the old varnish instead of rubbing boiled linseed into it. As for re-bluing I haven't done this but I would buy a re-bluing kit and follow the instructions from that. What ever you decide think carefully first and get everything ready before you start. Let me know how you get on. Good luck.
